 Some things I learned that helped me heal...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

I learned that I could not do anything to change anyone else; I could only change myself and the way I acted. I learned that though my mother was incapable of love or caring, except as it related to her, that I was capable of forgiveness. I learned that true forgiveness must be unconditional; it cannot be attached to whether or not the person loves me. I learned that forgiveness does not mean that I must have a relationship with that person; rather, it is about letting go of any and all anger and hostility so that I could move forward in my life. And lastly, I learned that sometimes physical distance is necessary. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
